THE publishers of the WEEKLY WIscoN-
SIN in making their annual announcement
to the public, do so with confident pride
and satisfaction. The WISCONSIN is in the
ffty-first year of its existence, and forty
first year under its present management
The growth of the WISCONSIN has been
steady and uninterrupted. 1t has far ex-
ceeded the growth of population in the
state from which it derives its support and
name. The circulation of the WISCONSIN is
greater in the state than that of any other
single journal.
1t has been the aim of the publishers to
make the WISCONSIN paper worthy of our
great commonwealth. Ii has never been
their practice to say much or promise what
shall be done in the future, but they refer
their readers to what has been done in the
past contenting themselves with the sssur-
ance that they propose to continue their e.
forts to produce a great family journal.
The WEEKLY WISCONSIN, has by far the
largest and ablest corps of original writers
in the state or in the Northwest, nearly the
whole contents from week to week being
original matter prepared expressly Tor this
journal 1.-The publishers pay five times as
much money for contributions as is paid by
any other weekly paper in Wisconsin.
Without the risk of contradiction, II is
claimed that the WEEKLY WISCONSIN is the
best printed newspaper in the state. Its
Typography is always clear and leg1ble and
may be read with pleasure by all eyes.
The different departments of the paper
are conducted by editors peculiarly fitted
for such departments, and cover wide range
of subjects
To the farm department. was added last
year, and will be continued this year, a YER
batim report of all the best papers read at
the Farmers Institutes. These papers alone
published in book would make an octave
volume which would cost twice the
subscription price of the paper.
The novels and short stories published
for the amusement and edihcation of its
readers if printed in ordinary book style,
would in a year make more than ten vol

The department of Woman's World has
become one of the most interesting features
of the WISCONSIN since its introduction q
few years ago. The original articles of
which it is mostly composed are widely
copied by the newspapers of the country,
thus paying merited compliment to tho
numerous writers for these columns
For the Boys and Girls Department we
have several of the most accomplished
writer's in the United States. Tie weekly
letters upon society. literature, fashion and
the drama from New York are a feature
that has given great satisfaction To the read
ers. The Puzzle and Family Departments
offer amusement and instruction equal to
any Of the speciality papers. The Market
Reports are prepared by an editor who at
TENDS the exchange daily, and spends his
whole time in their preparation. The News,
particularly from the Northwest is fur
nished by more than 100 paid reporters, To-
Gated in all parts of Wisconsin and adjOin-
Ing states, under the supervision Of our mar
aging editor and his assistants. The edito-
rial columns sre presided over by the senior
publisher, assisted by an able corps Of writ

of people fitted for the work are engaged
weekly in the production OF this journal.

and my business is to furnish designs foi

them in gold or silver on the silk Innings

here and we return it marked with then
special designs. keep several artists at
work all the time originating new de-
signs. They are first drawn in pencil
and India ink, and then engraved on a
heavy brass plate. We use brass because
that will stand the necessary heating.
We prepare the silk by process that
makes it capable of receiving the i'm.
preston. The plate is heated, sheet
of gold leaf is placed on it and press
transfers the gold to the silk. The loose
leaf is brushed off and the design re-
mains in gold.
every halter has two or three dozen
styles, and they change constantly, so
that we always have to produce some
thing new. Only few hatters are salts
fed with trademarks. Most of them ask
for attractive pictures that will help sell
the hats. You would be astonished to
know the number of English and even
French designs that I get up to put in
American hats. ."-jhai and Eapress.

Where They Are Always Day Behind.

Although the Philippine Islands lie
near to the Asiatic coast it was by Span
iards who sailed eastward from America
that they were settled. Did they revise
their calendar when they crossed the
magic line, and strike out day to keep
themselves abreast of the times9 No
such thing; tha Spanish dons of that day
were proud aud fiery folk, and If their
calendar did not agree with the times,
then so much the worse for the times.
Anyhow, the fact remains that, when
they arrived at the Manila or PHILIPPINE
Islands, they still reckoned by the calen-
dar which had been taken from Spain to
America, and from America by them on
their voyage. They were, of course, a
day in arrear; but rs there were not then
any important settlements of civilized
nations thcreabout with whom the date
could be compared the error was not no.

in consequence the inhabitants of Manila

Mistakes About Dogs.

"There is a popular idea," said a
Bowery dog-fancicr, ''that the New
foundland dog is particularly intelligent
and amiablc. 1t is an error. Seven
Newfoundlands ont Of ten are vicious,
and it is dangerous to have them about
where there are children. They are
fairly intelligent, but do not begin to
equal in that respect the poodle or the
little black -and-tan terrier. A New
foundland dog has magnificent head
and an intelligent eye, but appearances, in
his case, are deceptive. The Scotch collie
discounts all breeds so far as intelli-
gence is concerned. It is not generally
known, but the poodle can be trained to
be an excellent field dog, and will learn
more quickly to retrieve than any breed
1 know of. The pug is the chump OF
the canine family. He doesn't know
enough to go in when it rains. ."-.NeO

"Tanist" Stones,

In Ireland and the Scottish Hishlands
many "tanist" stones have been found.
These are generally portions of the sold
rock projecting above the neighboring
surface; and on the tanist stone is carved
the impression of very large human
foot. Why the impression is invariably
so large has been a puzzling question to
antiquaries. An ancient Celtic authority
asserts, however, that the feet of the
Picts were so large that when the men
were slain in battle they did not fall.
but the upper part of their bodies, as it
were, hung" for their feet, owing to
their immense proportions, retained
their normal position flat on the ground.
When new King or Chief succeeded 10
power he installed himself by placing
his right foot in the carved impression,
at the same time saying that he was by
right installed in his possessions, and
would walk into his ancestors footsteps.
Thus he stepped into dead mans shoes.

Hints for Smokers.

The american -1,lalyst gives the fol-
lowing advice to cigar smokers:
/. Never buy cheap cigars. There is
no economy in it. If you can't afford
good cigars, smoke less and enjoy your
Smnkc 1t is folly to suppos: little cigars
are the best.
.. You cannot tell whether cigar is
good or bad unless you light properly,
that is, thoroughly. A good cigar will
not be much better than a poor one If
bldly lighted.
;. If your cigar goes out, be sure to
blow through it as soon as possible, so
that when you light it there will be no
dead smoke in it. 80,
4. Leave the ashes on your cigar until
they fall off. Your cigar will burn
straighter and taste sweeter II you don t
knock the ashes off.
S. If you think smoking injurious to
your health, stop smoking in the morn
ing. A great many people have stomachs
out of order, and no man ailing in that
way can smoke before or Immediately al
ter breakfast. The best time to smoke is
after dinner, and after supper, and
straight ahead until bedtime. Smoking
would not hurt baby, that is, some
babies. if this rule was adopted.
6. Never give anybody a light from
your cigar. Carry matches.

Orange Propagation.

A California orange-grower believes
that he has discovered method Of
propagating the orange tree which will
bring it to maturity five OF six years
earlier than it now natures. "The plan, "
he says, consists simply in propagating
from the maturcd free root of bearing
age, which has never been obstructed by
the bud of its own or any other variety.
This discovery was not arrived at by me
accidentally, but as the result of fifteen
years. close work and study. have
now growing trees raised by this system
which are bearing oranges not to be ex-
cclled in quality by any I have met with
either native or foreign. The keeping
qualities of this fruit are most excellent,
improving with age. The orange is q
blend of the bitter-swcet and sweet seed
ing, not from the bud but from the seed
allowed to grow fifteen years and mature
fruit, after which it is propagated from
its collar or surface roots. When this is
properly done the young tree will pro-
duce fruit within three years and some
times sooner"

A Years Brick Production.

1t is difficult for the mind to conceive
of single million of bricks. If only one
million were piled up in solid mass, of
equal length, breadth and height, the
heap would extend very nearly 81 feet
each way, and 81 feet high. Less than
thirty-two such heaps, or about 80, 1885,
$50 bricks, would cover whole acre
with solid brick mass extending up 81
feet high. But at the Convention of the
National Brick Manufacturers Associa-
ton, it was reported that the present
annual product of 10, 900 brick and tile
manufactures in the United States is
$500, 900, 900 bricks. Enough to cover
about 233 acres all over with solid brick
piled up 81 feet:high. The bricks made
each year in the United States would
build solid wall one foot thick and five
feet high, over 14,200 miles long, or
mare than four such walls from the At
lantic to the Pacific. Or, the annual
brick product would build a foot thick
wall, 20 feet high, and $3.50 miles long,
which is more than the greatest distance
across our country.-Prairie Farmer.

"B00dle. "

The origin of the word "boodle " is
thus given by the Cincinnati Commercial
Gqzette:
The word "boodle' has gone into the
United States language. Eastern news
papers, even those of Boston, use it with
out quotation marks. We believed the
word originally appeared in the CONNER
ciul Gazette in report of the great
American express robbery in Cincinnati
several years ago. One Sunday after
noon a one horse wagon was driven up to
the office on Race street, small iron
travelling safe loaded on and taken across
the river into Kentucky and riaed. Larry
Hazen, the famous old detective, was
employed by the express company to
work up the case, and he succeeded in
recovering most of the money. When
met by reporter at the police station
after the lucky capture Hazen threw up
his hands in happy mood and exclaimed :
"Wc've got the boodle!' The word was
afterward Used to denote money used for
dishonest purposes in local politics, and
disreputable politicians IN the city and
State came to be known as "boodiers"
and their party as the "boodle party"
The word spread in usage and is now
common Throughout the country.

Worked While He Slept.

An English mason, named Williams,
was ordered by his employer one evening
to go early the next morning to church
yard, the wall of which had recently
been repaired, and measure the work.
Williams went to sleep thinking of the
order and intending to rise at daylight.
He dreamed that he arose with the dawn,
walked to the churchyard, measured the
wall and noted the figures in his book.
Suddenly the church clock struck two,
and he awoke in utter darkness, to find
himself actually in the graveyard with
his rule and his book in his hand. AS 1t
was in the summer, he waited until day
light, walked around, and then discov-
cred on examination that he had entered
in the book figures denoting the amount
of masonry repaired in feet and inches.
He remeasured what he had measured in
the dark while asleep, and found the re-.
suit to agree with the entries in his
pocketbook. On thinking it over he re-
membered that every object on the way
appeared to him as distinct as usual, and
that nothing had happened which sug-
gcsted that he was not awake till the
striking of the clock aroused him, and he
perceived that he was awaking from
what he thought was dream. - Youths
